2 have gone before Congress for impeachment. Andrew Johnson the Vice President for Lincoln who took the office after his death. Bill Clinton was the second president. Nixon would have been impeached if he hadn't resigned.
Only two, A. Johnson and Clinton were actually impeached. Nixon was likely to have been impeached if he stayed in office. Opponents of the president talk about impeaching the president from time to time but then drop the idea when they find it does not have enough support to pass. Rumors of impeachment moves, some stronger than others, arose over Tyler, Jackson and Truman and maybe others.
0; Richard Nixon would have been but he resigned. No US President has ever been successfully impeached.
Three, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were both impeached, Richard Nixon faced the prospect of impeachment, but resigned before it could happen.
Two presidents, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached. Neither one was found guilty.
Two US presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives. Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson. Each of them however, have never been found guilty of the charges cited against them.
None, because impeachment isn't a crime.
The word you're probably looking for is "impeachment", though technically the impeachment process is only part of it (after being impeached by the House of Representatives, the President must then be convicted by the Senate).
Death or impeachment. They can resign, but I don't think this has ever happened.Nixon resigned his office and Ford took over the presidency.
No Us President has been removed from office via the impeachment process. There have been two presidents who have been impeached. In 1868, Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House for violating certain statutes related to government processes; in 1998, Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice. However, neither of these presidents was convicted by the Senate, so neither of them was removed from office.
This stament is true.
The Congress is the branch that conducts impeachment hearings. Those who are found guilty are relieved of any public responsibilities and removed from office.

In the U.S. Constitution, impeachment is like being accused; impeachment is the job of the House of Representatives. Once the person has been impeached - accused of a crime - then the case goes to trial. The House carries out the trial, and the Senate acts as the jury. Impeachment is very rare; only a few judges have ever been removed from office, and while two Presidents have been impeached, neither was removed from office. Removal from office is the ONLY penalty that the Senate can impose. If removed from office through impeachment, the person can never again hold any office of ANY kind for the government of the United States.
None. Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were both impeached by the House, but never "found guilty" by the Senate. President Richard Nixon resigned before he could face impeachment charges.

No presidents have actually been removed from office, and impeachment papers were only ever brought against two presidents - Andrew Jackson and Bill Clinton.
None. Two presidents have been impeached but neither was found guilty by the Senate after impeachment by the House of Representatives.
No- both impeached presidents were acquitted of impeachment charges by the Senate and were allowed to finish out their terms. Andrew Johnson escaped. conviction by only one vote.
Death or impeachment. They can resign, but I don't think this has ever happened.Nixon resigned his office and Ford took over the presidency.
Two have been through impeachment, but neither were removed. In 1868 Andrew Johnson was put on trial for impeachment, but was saved by 2 votes. Clinton was put up for impeachment for perjury and again the votes were short. Nixon would have been for Watergate, but he resigned instead.
